Found this great roundup of the recently concluded Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival (ttff). Great to see the films being appreciated, but even better to hear sound critical advice. Yes, our film-makers need to come from a more critical place, especially when making documentaries. We are presenting positive overviews right now, but I suspect as … Continue reading A Film Festival And A Dance Battle
You Haven’t Seen Snowpiercer Yet? Say It Ain’t So!
Because that movie rocks. It literally rocks. When did you last see a movie that uses horror to highlight social injustice in an entertaining and thoughtful way?

Vampire Academy or Who The Hell Knew That Would Be So Much Fun?
I didn't plan on seeing this. Basically, my sister went to the DVD store by herself and I wasn't able to prevent her from buying it. I had made my opposition clear from the moment I saw the uninspiring trailer. However, I have been wrong twice this year about movies I didn't want to see … Continue reading Vampire Academy or Who The Hell Knew That Would Be So Much Fun?

We may have seen this before. … Continue reading You Probably Haven’t Seen These Trailers

So I'm posting the latest insane trailer and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIASaUUwklk After … Continue reading New Game of Thrones Trailer
Jupiter Ascending – Trailer
I'm obsessed with this trailer. In case you didn't know, I write spec fic, and my debut novel which is coming out this May, is actually a space opera mystery. I happen to think space opera can be very engaging and is the way most people come to a love of science fiction, but because … Continue reading Jupiter Ascending – Trailer
